List of notable orchestras
This list is entirely subjective and does not define what "notable" means in this context. In fact, it can't define what notable means. The list is essentially an attempt to group together the best 20 or so orchestras in the world, but this simply cannot be done without defined parameters, and any attempt to group them together would be original research, or at least personal opinion. So, perhaps this page could be moved to "list of Orchestras", but there is already a category in existence for this very reason ("Category:Orchestras") AdamBiswanger1 15:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Perhaps rename to "List of orchestras", but certainly a useful page. Vote changed to Delete in light of information about the other, more complete, list.  Though note that categories and lists are not interchangeable, and each have their own advantages (see WP:CLS). Dsreyn 20:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment There actually is a List of symphony orchestras. I should've noted that in my nom--sorry AdamBiswanger1 16:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Another commentGiven the recent revalation of the above mentioned article, I'm going to go ahead and prod it because I cannot foresee any objections, and I doubt that a consensus will be reached because of the lack of activity. It's pretty straightforward, really. AdamBiswanger1 17:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm not sure I quite see the point of the prod, since the AfD is already in motion, and seems likely to result in a deletion anyway. Dsreyn 20:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you think that 2 unanimous votes is enough? AdamBiswanger1 01:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems like it ought to be sufficient, though one can never be sure. Dsreyn 01:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Given List of symphony orchestras, this really ought to be considered a consensus.  --Karnesky 22:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I think I'm going to go have a hack at the giant list on the Choir article. MarkBuckles 08:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
